Following the sexual abuse of an autistic child, a female Telford Paedophile School Assistant Acasia Welburn was imprisoned. Acasia Welburn mistreated the lad while employed in a “trusted care role” at a North Yorkshire school.
Now 26 years old, Acasia Welburn messaged an autistic lad on social media and started posting photographs and sexually charged remarks.
She then started routinely having sex in her car and flat with the teenage lad, who was under sixteen.
From Telford, Acasia Welburn admitted guilt to three charges of sexual behaviour with a child by a person in a position of trust.
At York Crown Court, Acasia Welburn received a prison sentence of two and a half years.
“I cannot commend the victim enough for their incredible bravery and tenacity,” said Det Con Alison Morris.
“This is another scenario proving victims’ ability to pursue and get justice.
“We encourage anyone affected by offending to contact the police; you will be supported and listened to.”
